What did it mean?
And is there something to stress about?
Now, I looked at 13 large geopolitical events that have happened in previous history.
So I'm just going to show you some examples.
This included the Pearl Harbor attack, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962,
the Iraq evasion in 1990.
And when we looked at all of those, the worst performing one was Pearl Harbor, where the attack saw a drawdown of almost 20%.
If you had invested $1,000 in the share market, you would have lost 20% of that over from the very peak of the market to the end of the crisis.
You don't want that.
20% is a lot of money.
But what was surprising to me and what you might think
find somewhat of a comfort is that the average drawdown over these 13 really large political crises or geopolitical crises, they were down by 4.6% on average and lasted only six weeks.
Let me say that in more simpler terms.
When it comes to these
horrible, catastrophic events, the impact that they have on the market is not as significant, where on average, you lose about 4.6% of your portfolio temporarily, may I add, and it tends to last six weeks before the market starts to come back up on the rise.
Again, past performance doesn't mean that this will happen in the next six weeks.
Please do not put in your calendar from six weeks from now, the market will recover, Sim said so.
But just historically,
They're not things that last years or many years every single time.
Sometimes they last longer, sometimes they last shorter.
